Salon des Cent / 20th Exhibition, 1896
Artist: Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939)
Keywords: Art Nouveau – Exhibitions – Lithography
In 1896, at the height of his fame following his designs for Sarah Bernhardt, Mucha created this poster for the Salon des Cent, organized by La Plume alongside leading masters like Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, and Steinlen. Discovered by gallery owner Deschamps while still in progress, the work’s elegant lines and ethereal beauty convinced him to publish it—an inspired decision that cemented Mucha’s reputation as a defining voice of Art Nouveau.
